On March 5th, 2016 I had the pleasure of documenting Kristine and Tristan’s dreamy rustic wedding in Palm Beach Garden, Florida. Their wedding was a lovely blend of Southern charm and a dreamy pastel color pallet. Kristine and Tristan had so many unique touches that made their wedding a beautiful reflection of the love they share. Their special day was held at the rustic Bonnette Banquet Lodge in Palm Beach Gardens. This venue was full of Southern charm and gave the perfect rustic feel. Bonnette Banquet Lodge even slow cook their meats over a toasty open charcoal fire. Come dinner time, a true Southern-style BBQ dinner was served for all the guests to enjoy.

One of my favorite moments of the entire day was when the ceremony and portraits were finished and everyone had gone to enjoy cocktails. The couple wanted to read their personal vows to each other but chose to do at a unique moment of the day. Once all of the family and bridal party photographs had been taken and everyone was off enjoying cocktail hour, the couple had a quiet moment just the two of them and read their personal vows to each other. They laughed, they cried and they held each other close. This was one of the sweetest moments I have ever had the honor of witnessing.

In the months leading up to the wedding, Kristine and I communicated about many details for the big day. I was always impressed with how organized and prepared she was! Her attention to detail really made her wedding unique and beautiful. But what I love most about Kristine is her sweet spirit and her thoughtfulness. Throughout the day, Kristine was attentive and thought about us, even when she didn’t need to. Kristine thank you for being the sweetest bride ever and for choosing to be a part of the Crystal Bolin Photography family.

Kristine and Tristan’s your wedding was so incredible in so many ways and it was an honor to being a part of it. Thank you for allowing Andrew and I the pleasure of capturing your dreamy rustic wedding day! Here’s to a lifetime of happiness and many more beautiful moments to come!
